Secreted Effector Proteins of Salmonella dublin Act in Concert To Induce Enteritis

ABSTRACT The ability of enteropathogenic salmonellae to recruit inflammatory cells and induce secretory responses in the infected ileum is considered to be a main feature in Salmonella-induced enteritis. Interactions between the pathogen and intestinal epithelial cells result in a variety of cellular responses mediating inflammation and fluid secretion. It is becoming apparent that proteins secreted by the Inv-Spa type III secretion system of Salmonella spp. play a key role in the induction of these responses. We have recently demonstrated that the SopB effector protein is translocated into eukaryotic cells via a Sip-dependent pathway and mediates inflammation and fluid secretion in infected ileal mucosa. However, SopB did not appear to be the only effector involved, as inactivation of thesopB gene only partially impaired enteropathogenicity. We suggested that at least some of such protein effectors are likely to be proteins of the same class as SopB, i.e., secreted effector proteins translocated into eukaroyotic cells via a Sip-dependent pathway. In this work, we identify SopD, another secreted protein belonging to the family of Sop effectors of Salmonella dublin. Using thecya reporter system we showed that SopD is translocated into eukaroyotic cells. We assessed the potential involvement of SopD in enteropathogenicity and found that inactivation of sopDhas an additive effect in relation to the sopB mutation.
